SQUARE D JGM36175 PowerPact J Circuit Breaker
Product Information
- Product Name: PowerPacTTM H-frame and J-frame Circuit Breakers and Switches
- Model Number: JYT65471 Rev. 00, 02/2022
- Replaces: 48940-207-03 Rev. 08, 02/2020
- Precautions: Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. Use caution when working with the product.
- Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including DINP, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and DIDP which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Product Usage Instructions
- Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment.
- Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
- Remove the handle extension (d).
Visi-Trip Functionality: The Visi-Trip LED handle aids in quickly
locating a circuit breaker that requires attention. Inspect the handle
position for circuit breaker trip indication. The Visi-Trip handle will flash
an LED light as described in Table 1.
Note: When performing annual maintenance in accordance with MCCB Field
Testing and Maintenance Guide (0600IB1201), operate the push to trip button
(if equipped) to verify the Visi-Trip functionality. Cycle the circuit breaker
from tripped to OFF, and then from OFF to ON and take note of the battery
health. See Table 2. Wait five seconds between handle operation and push-to-
trip button operation to ensure that the Visi-Trip handle is on standby mode.
Tripping the circuit breaker too soon after toggling may result in the Visi-
Trip handle not operating as intended.
Enclosure Clearances: Install circuit breaker so minimum clearance distance to grounded metal is maintained. Refer to Figure 2 for enclosure clearances and the use of a fiber insulating plate.
Necessary Tools
Screwdriver, Phillips® #1 and 2 Screwdriver, long-shanked slotted Torque wrench:
- H-frame lug—3/16 in. hex bit
- J-frame lug—5/16 in. hex bit
- Bus connection— 5/32 in. hex bit

- Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
- Remove the handle extension (d).
Visi-Trip™
The Visi-Trip LED handle aids in quickly locating a circuit breaker that
requires attention. Inspectthe handle position for circuit breaker trip
indication. The Visi- Trip handle will flash an LED light as described in
Table 1.
Note: When performing annual maintenance in accordance with MCCB Field
Testing and Maintenance Guide (0600IB1201), operate the push to trip button
(if equipped) to verify the Visi-Trip funcitonality. Cycle the circuit breaker
from tripped to OFF, and then from OFF to ON and take not eof the battery
health. See Table 2. Wait five seconds between handle operation and push-
totrip button operation to ensure that the Visi-Trip handle is on standby
mode. Tripping the circuit breaker too soon after toggling may result in the
Visi-Trip handle not operating as intended.
TABL.1:
Light Pattern | Indicator |
---|---|
Fast flash for two seconds. | Battery low (20% remaining). |
Long duration slow flash (continuous flash up to for six hours). / | Inspect |
the handle position for circuit breaker trip indication. 1
- Refer to the Schneider Electric Frequently Asked Questions page. https://www.se.com/us/en/faqs/home/for. more information. /
- If a nuisance LED flashing occurs on ON or OFF position, it can be reset by toggling the circuit breaker. If toggling the circuti breaker is not desired, LED flashing will reset after six hours.
Individually-Mounted Circuit Breaker Installation
DANGER: HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH Install circuit breaker so minimum clearance distance to grounded metal is maintained. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
- Check the electrical clearances (Figure 2, a). Insulate the circuit breaker if necessary (b–c).
Enclosure Clearances
Fiber Insulating Plate
Enclosure Dimensions
J-Frame Enclosure Insulation2
- If dimension “A” is less than 0.56 in. (14.2 mm), attach fiber insulating plate (not provided) to enclosure cover.
- Insulation required if circuit breaker side is < 4.13 in. (105 mm) from metal.
Install the circuit breaker
I-Line™ Circuit Breaker Installation
NOTICE
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
- Do not adjust jaws.
- Do not remove joint compound.
- If necessary, use Square D joint compound PJC7201.
- Rack the circuit breaker onto the bus (Figure 4 (a–c).
- Tighten the mounting bracket screw (d–e).
Cable Installation
Note: If the circuit breaker has terminal nuts installed, remove terminal nuts and install lugs as directed in the instructions shipped with the lug kit.
NOTICE
HAZARD OF FALSE TORQUE INDICATION Do not allow conductor strands to
interfere with threads of wire binding screw. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in equipment damage.
TABL.2: Lug Information
Conductors must be cut square for secure termination
Note: See Table 2 for strip lengths and torques.
- Preform the conductors to their final configuration. Strip the conductor ends (Figure 5, a). Do not nick strands.
- Install the cables in the lugs and torque the wire binding screws (b–c).
- Install wire larger than 12 AWG in the center of the channel (d).
- Install 14–12 AWG wire on the side of channel (e) on all lugs to avoid damage to the wire.
Bus Installation
